He wrote: "at a time when trans-Pacific travel likely was at a speed half of today’s jets”. I read that he's saying that she was more likely to have flown on a prop job rather than a DC-8, 707 or Convair 880/990, and that if she did the flight would be longer in duration. It would also probably be cheaper.
